Staging New Hampshire

Every home improvement job has the potential for that moment where you stand back and take in what you have done and it just doesn't thrill you.  This is what happened in the kitchen of our project condo.

In Part 4 of this series, there are pictures of the new kitchen tile.  We originally tiled the wall with brown tiles and randomly threw in some bone colored tiles.  We painted the kitchen with Ben Moore, Ashley Gray (actually a shade of tan). 

After some consideration, we decided that we didn't like the randomly placed bone colored tiles on the wall.  Luckily it was early enough in the tiling process and there were only seven tiles to be removed. 

 We also decided that the room needed some additional

color and because the counter top is blue, we used

Ben Moore Bachelor Blue.

 We loved the colors so much that we used them in the bathroom also.

The original vanity was too close to the toilet, causing you to have to sit sideways on the toilet.  We moved the vanity one foot to the left.  The original lighting, two cheap, chrome sconces, were mounted too low.  We purchased the new lighting fixture, brushed nickel to match the faucet and existing towel bars, for $25.
